About this addon

What it does

FrameUnlocker

Unlock and customize your UI frames. Drag chat by its tab, resize it from the corner, and scale or reposition frames Blizzard normally locks down.

Features

Chat Frames

  • Unlock chat to drag by tab and resize from the corner
  • Stays clamped to screen so it can't be lost off-edge
  • Automatically re-unlocks after exiting Edit Mode
  • Toggle on/off in settings, or straight from the Edit Mode chat dialog

Frame Scaling & Positioning

Each of these can be scaled from 50% to 150%; the repositionable ones also get a draggable on-screen anchor with its own scale slider, plus Move and Reset buttons in settings.

Frame Scale Reposition
Raid Frames
Party Frames
Arena / Flag Carriers
Loot Roll Frames
Quest Tracker
Raid Warnings / Hardcore death alerts
Below-Minimap Widgets
  • Arena / Flag Carriers also covers WSG/BG flag carrier frames.
  • Quest Tracker and Below-Minimap Widgets are removed from Blizzard's managed layout while repositioned to prevent flickering.
  • Repositioning stays aligned to your anchor at any scale, and adjusting the scale keeps the frame put.

Edit Mode Integration

When you select a frame in Blizzard's Edit Mode, a matching FrameUnlocker control appears beneath its dialog:

  • Raid Frames / Party Frames → a scale slider
  • Chat Frame → an unlock checkbox

So our settings sit right alongside Edit Mode's own, no need to leave Edit Mode.

Move Anchors

  • Clicking Move closes the settings panel so the on-screen anchor is unobstructed
  • Each anchor carries its own scale slider — position and scale together
  • Clicking Lock saves the position and reopens settings

Settings Panel

  • Full options UI integrated into the AddOns menu, on a single page
  • All preferences persist between sessions
  • Reset buttons restore both position and scale

Commands

Command Description
/fu Open the settings panel
/fu reset Reset all settings to defaults

Per-frame moving is done from the Move buttons in the settings panel.
